CE Linux Forum
is a non profit consortium of embedded system makers
(such as Sony, Panasonic, Philips...) which works to
develop the suitability of Linux as an operating system
for Consumer Electronics (CE) devices.
Its Wiki is full of useful resources for embedded system
makers to reduce size, power consumption, and to increase speed.
You may find lots of interesting ideas and resources there.
Free Electrons has a
overview presentation summarizing these ideas and resources.
"The
Electronic Green Journal, published by the
University of Idaho Library, is a
professional, refereed publication devoted
to disseminating information concerning
sources on international environmental
topics including: assessment,
conservation, development, disposal,
education, hazards, pollution, resources,
technology, and treatment. We are
academically sponsored; our focus,
however, is to publish articles,
bibliographies, reviews, and announcements
for the educated generalist as well as the
specialist. We welcome original
contributions from authors on any
of the above topics." . You
may also find a survey about
Environmental Resources on the
World Wide Web there.
BAN is a global network of toxics and development activist organizations that
share a vision of international environmental justice. We seek to prevent all
forms of "toxic trade" -- in toxic wastes, toxic products and toxic
technologies. BAN members will work nationally, regionally and globally to
accomplish the following mission:
The
Basel Action Network (BAN)
works to prevent the globalization of the toxic
chemical crisis. In particular, we seek to ensure that the Basel Convention
and its ban (Decisions II/12 and III/1) on the export of hazardous wastes from
OECD to non-OECD countries will not be weakened, but rather ratified and
implemented at the earliest possible date. We also seek to ensure that the
Basel Convention and other instruments and efforts, serve to prevent the trade
and growth of the world's most hazardous, and often obsolete industries,
particularly with respect to developing or newly industrializing countries.
Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition (SVTC)
is a diverse grassroots coalition that
for almost twenty years has engaged in research, advocacy, and organizing
associated with environmental and human health problems caused by the rapid
growth of the high-tech electronics industry. Our goal in addressing these
problems is to advance environmental sustainability and clean production in the
industry and to improve health, promote justice, and ensure democratic
decision-making for communities and workers affected by the high-tech
revolution in Silicon Valley and other high-tech areas of the US and the world.
